We moved to Golden Courtyard

With her hands wrapped around Xu Qi's neck, Mei hugged him back, taking the initiative to kiss him while also feeling a little sentimental and fantasizing.

It felt like... something from a dream had come true, making Mei feel a little surreal for a moment.

For them, it will undoubtedly be a very long night...

"Huh? Where's the stuff?"

"Oh my goodness...you'd better watch out."

"Get lost, you're full of dirty talk... Hmm? You seem a bit worse than yesterday."

"You can feel that?"

"I wield a sword every day, so my intuition is exceptionally sharp. Humph! Tell me! Was it because of Ellie's actions at the dinner table today that excited you!"

"Hiss! ~~That's all I'm saying, but let's be serious and not use too much force."

"Then tell me! Do you have feelings for Alicia?"

"Let's not talk about this."

"Still not talking... Ugh!... Hmph... Xu Qi! You shameless rascal!"

"Let's not talk about it anymore."

"You!...Ugh!"

……

It seems that for Mei and Xu Qi, this night was not only long, but also full of unexpected events.

But no matter what, with something in her hands, Mei's revenge against Xu Qi... should be able to continue... probably.

54. Theresa, where is your freedom?

"Folding bed, air conditioning blanket, change of clothes... oh, and mosquito repellent."

"Okay! ...You're just like my mom."

At the entrance of East China University of Political Science and Law, Xu Qi handed Mei a suitcase and a long bag. As mentioned before, Mei had another competition to participate in, which would last for three days and required her to stay at the school.

"I participated in this kind of thing when I was in college, mathematical modeling. In any case, you must pay attention to rest, otherwise you will become quite impetuous later on and it will be easy to quarrel with your teammates."

There's a reason we set up teams of three; arguing doesn't solve anything. Hey? I haven't even asked yet, where are your other two teammates? Who are they?

"Okay, okay, I know! And why do you care about them... Oh~~ they're all girls!"

Mei rolled her eyes at Xu Qi reproachfully, feeling like she'd really gained a mother. But... she actually quite enjoyed it, especially seeing Xu Qi so diligently preparing her belongings while they were at home...

My heart is overflowing with sweetness.

Finally, Mei gave Xu Qi a light kiss on the cheek, waved, and said, "I'm leaving now, you should go back quickly."

"It's alright, I'll just stay here and watch you go in."

Knowing she couldn't stop Xu Qi, Mei could only give him another hug before turning and walking into the school with a touch of reluctance.

The night before last, she and her boyfriend had made a breakthrough, and the young couple, deeply in love, had to separate for three or four days...

Mei really considered whether she should just give up on the competition.

If it were an individual event, she might have really given up, but this is a team competition...

Mei is a very responsible person; she would never let her teammates down. Xu Qi understands this, just as Mei supported his decision to switch jobs back then, and this time…

Xu Qi also unconditionally supported the other party.

Of course, one problem that must be faced is... if he has certain desires these days... Xu Qi, who no longer wants to rely on the Fifth Sister, can only endure it for a while.

We drove back to Golden Courtyard.

It has to be said that everyone has been quite excited these past few days, perhaps because of the upcoming trip.

Although the location hasn't been decided yet, there's no rush.

As soon as I got home, I could hear Alicia talking to Mebius in the living room about where to travel.

"The sea! You must see the sea!"

"Don't we have a sea here? Why don't you keep asking to go see it every day?"

"Hmm? No way! Can the sea in Shanghai even be considered a sea? No, we have to see the real thing."

"This is the first time I've ever heard of a distinction between authentic and inauthentic ways of seeing the sea."

Listening to their conversation, Xu Qi couldn't help but laugh—this Alicia was full of strange and unusual ideas, and he had no idea where they came from.

Back in her room, Xu Qi, now with some free time, subconsciously opened QQ.

As the saying goes, chatting with people is the most convenient way to kill time in the world, especially meaningless conversations, which are more comfortable than watching videos.

This is why so many people like water groups.

Xu Qi... is no exception.

He has an Alahato group chat, which is full of longtime Alahato fans, so the topics of conversation... most of the time, are no longer limited to Alahato.

Xu Qi has been in this group chat for over two years and has gotten to know quite a few netizens.

But there is one who is... rather special.

"Hey, I saw on the news the other day, did your Shanghai subway have some kind of problem?"

This is a private message from a user named Theresa.

A fairly common ID, because the main character in Z Allahato is Theresa, Theresa Apocalypse.

The story of Otto's granddaughter, who, along with Otto and Karen, rebels against the tyranny of the Federation.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a happy ending. In the end, Theresa, driving the Zeta Alahato, crashed into the final boss, then went insane and became a madwoman.

In the Otto's Counterattack movie, Otto's desire to destroy the Earth and his break with Kallen are inextricably linked to this event.

Shiny Qiqi: Yeah, you just found out?

Theresa: Climb

Theresa: I asked you that the other day! You said you didn't know either.

Shining Qiqi: Yeah? What's wrong?

Theresa: What's wrong?

As she spoke, Theresa found the news report featuring the hero who dared to park his car and sent it to Xu Qi.

Theresa: Who else could this be but you?! And below it is written the name—Xu Qi. Do you think I'm blind?

Shining Qiqi: Um... Don't you not watch the news?

There was no reply from the other end for a long time.

Xu Qi was about to turn on his computer and play some games when he felt that their chat was over for the day.

Theresa: Who! ...Who said they don't watch the news!? I watch it too, okay...

Because a TV program reported on the workplace of an acquaintance, I took a closer look. After seeing my friend, I became even more interested and carefully investigated the relevant information.

But because he was too embarrassed to admit it, he sent a pointless message after so long.

In just a moment, Xu Qi had grasped the entirety of Theresa's inner journey and sighed deeply—Theresa was being ridiculously cute.

"Okay, it really is me."

"Are you crazy?! You actually thought of using an exoskeleton armor to stop the car?! You!...You've really lost your mind!"

This wasn't the first time he'd been said that to him... After so many days, it happened again, and Xu Qi actually found it quite novel? Perhaps it's because it's Theresa.

In Z Allahato, Theresa is depicted as a cute and petite loli, but it's unknown what netizens think she looks like.

But the other person kept insisting that he was male, and Xu Qi thought it made perfect sense. After all, these days, who among netizens is a woman? Are you kidding me...?

You'd rather believe you can chat with female netizens than believe I'm Qin Shi Huang, right?

"It's alright, we survived, didn't we?"

"You make it sound so easy... Let's not talk about that. Are you still writing lately?"

"Write what?"

"Alahato fanfiction".

"I'm not writing anymore."

"You damned eunuch! You're not writing again, are you?"

"No, no, Theresa, you've really misunderstood me this time."

"There's nothing to misunderstanding between us!"

"I am now officially a member of ETStudio."

……

After a long silence, Theresa finally spoke up.

Xu Qi.

"Ok?"

"How about we go get your brain checked? I know a few neurosurgeons in Guangcheng, they're all very good. You should fly over here as soon as possible, and I'll take you to see one."

"..."

Shining Qiqi: Climbing

Theresa: ?

Theresa: I've been so good to you, and you let me climb?

Shining Qiqi: I'm going to sign the contract in a month, believe it or not.

Theresa: ?

Theresa: Are you serious?

Theresa: Wait...wait, wait! It can't be...it can't be that one! The Seed you wrote!

Shining Qiqi: Right~~ But I didn't give them the original manuscript. I just told them a concept, and their executive director was immediately interested. Aren't you amazing, Brother Xu?

Theresa: Get out of here! Humph! Wasn't this my idea?

Shining Qiqi: Yes~~ Theresa is the best, so when are you going to give me your free mecha design? Gretchen isn't good at creating from scratch, you have to give her a sample first.

Theresa: Okay, okay, stop nagging, I'll get it done for you. Log in and play the game.

55. Why don't you know about Ellie's feelings?

In the early morning, the dazzling and scorching sun shone through the French windows into the room, bathing Xu Qi in its light.

When he groggily opened his eyes, he realized that he was sleeping on the floor again.

This scene feels strangely familiar...

Memories flooded back, helping Xu Qi recall what exactly happened last night. Hmm... it seems like he played games with Theresa until he fainted.

Wow... this is just too incredible.

And why do I always like to play video games until I fall asleep and end up sleeping on the floor?

I picked up my phone and found several unread messages.

Theresa: Xu Qi? Where is he?

Theresa: You've fallen asleep again, haven't you...

2:35

Theresa: I'm going to sleep, you idiot. Be careful next time; if you can't stay up late, then don't.

……

Xu Qi raised an eyebrow. Although his words were somewhat harsh, the concern in his words was clearly perceptible. He was quite hypocritical.

This kind of personality would be quite problematic if it were in a man.
